Acupuncture Pain & Stress Center
This was my first time using acupuncture treatment and I have to say I'm amazed by the results. I pride myself on personalized treatments to get you results quickly so you can get back to enjoying life and doing the things you love. Jim Eleczko is a board-certified and licensed acupuncturist practicing in Raleigh, North Carolina.

He still does supervised clinical rotations with his mentor and he wakes up every day loving that he gets a chance to help make meaningful changes to patient's lives. With a focus on healing injuries, pain, digestion, and anxiety, he is able to help patients get back to doing the things they love. Do you have recurring pain in a particular area?
Services
At the start of the appointment, we will discuss all the issues you have come in for treatment. We will then run any necessary manual muscle and range of motion tests, take your pulses and evaluate your tongue. Then you will get a rundown of the planned treatment. From here we will do all any necessary bodywork and acupuncture.
The interpretation of the results for clinical practice says 33% of acupuncture for depression patients, 29% of counseling patients and 18% of usual care patients. The back is incredible. It supplies a solid support structure, enables us to carry incredibly heavy loads and also allows for rotation, extension and flexion.

I will start with I have had acupunture in the past. With that being said I will tell you this is the first time I was examined before he started sticking needles in me. We discussed my issues and my life style. Jim ( Doc) warned me that the first visit or 2 could be intense and that I might be a lil sore. Well he was correct. I was very sore but in a different way then when I walked thru his door. I believe it was a total of 7 visits and this man took away issues that i tried to fix on my own with stretching and exercise for over a year.
I cannot say enough good about this man. He truly is there

I have seen Jim Eleczko at Acupuncture Pain and Stress Center twice over the course of 5 years for two separate injuries. Both times he has been tremendously helpful in getting me out of the "inflamed" territory which aided me in getting out of my injury faster. Jim is very professional, knowledgeable, and very straightforward on his approach. I highly recommend his services.

Today at the pool, I realized for the first time in longer than I can remember that I didn't hurt. I came in with a variety of ailments, and he has addressed them. My lower back and hip pain made it hard to sleep. I had trouble walking some days. He even does stuff to help digestive issues. He always wears a mask and seems to have good covid19 protocols. I highly recommend this acupuncturist.

Jim Eleczko is very professional, takes good measure to protect everyone from COVID19, and listens to your concerns. He explains every procedure and makes sure you are receiving the treatment you need. I had a chronic muscle pain in my neck and shoulder, and after a few sessions, I feel like new. I fully recommend it. After the first visit you will see difference already.

I took my mom to this clinic after prescriptions and visits to the chiropractor failed to alleviate chronic pain she has had on her lower back for five years. We did about six or seven visits since my mom had fly back home. Three months later, she has no pain and walking way more upright. I talked to her yesterday and she said she is sleeping very well, which she hadn’t been for years. I hope more people will try this natural way of treatment ; it works! Thank you Jim.

This place is great! I usually don’t review or recommend places. I did a month rehab after my knee operation along with the recommended stretches. Doc had me up and going and ready for my fire fighter agility test. Today I passed my agility test with carry Fire. Don’t have any second thoughts go!

I found and selected this center totally based on reviews and I have absolutely no regrets! My major discomfort was a stiff and tight knee...sometimes resulting in a dull subtle pain. I underwent 4 acupuncture sessions with Jim within a 3 week period and I am no longer experiencing the discomfort! Jim has a calming demeanor and was timely with all appointments. Give Jim the opportunity to treat your ailment with acupuncture...from my experience, you'll be pleased.

Jim is awesome and I highly recommend him! I had a concussion and then ended up having chronic terrible headaches from post concussion syndrome and whiplash for months that left me unable to work or even do daily living activities. I had tried different meds and couldn't tolerate them or they didn't help. I couldn't go to the store or any restaurants, I couldn't take a walk very well, couldn't drive, read a book, look at my phone without having an excruciating headache. I was extremely light sensitive and noise sensitive and wore earplugs and everywhere. I was nervous to

This was my first time ever using acupuncture, but after seriously re-injuring my lower back I had to try something new. Jim made me feel immediately comfortable, listening to my issues, and then discussing with me exactly what he planned to do to help. What usually would have been a painful month long recovery got cleared up with three treatments over the course of a week or so with Acupunture Pain and Stress. The treatments were nearly pain-free and Jim made me comfortable throughout the process. I have already recommended him to multiple friends as I cannot say enough great things about what

I have suffered for many months with a constant severe headache following a hard blow to the head. I am also under the care of a neurologist, who has done everything he can to help me. I have been diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome, and the headaches have been termed "migraines" though none are anything like the very rare migraines I have had throughout my life as I have had no auras with any of these. The pain ranges from a mind-numbing ache to a very severe sharp, stabbing pain that takes over all thoughts and sensations when it hits. Just before the severe pain, my face gets tight

I started going to Jim couple years ago. I have had several issues like digestion, allergies and some fertility. Jim has been able to help me with all of those. I have recently moved away but every time I travel to Raleigh I make sure to make an appointment with Jim. Give him a try and you will not be disappointed.

I've been seeing Jim on and off for about 6 months now. At first I wanted treatment for anxiety, energy levels, and general thyroid issues. After about 5 sessions, I noticed a change in my anxiety (a harder disorder to see progress in but still) and I saw progress in my energy levels (also hard to explain). I was so happy to have found affordable acupuncture! Then I moved to Chapel Hill and going to Raleigh became inconvenient to travel to.

Recently, I've been having issues with TMD (Temporomandibular joint dysfunction). I've hardly been able to chew for the last 3 months. After

I have had treatments from Jim for several different ailments including dizziness, circulation problems, headaches, and dry eyes. He is an exceptional practitioner, very caring, and knowledgeable, while taking the time to listen to what I have to say. He goes the extra mile to research the best possible treatments that are most effective for my problems. He is truly interested in the well being of his patients, and is most happy when a treatment proves effective.
My dizziness has been cured, my circulation has gotten progressively better, and I have seen improvement in my headaches and dry eyes

Jim is so kind and caring, and he's very knowledgeable. He's very thorough and easy to talk to. He explains everything so well. I've been for 3 sessions so far with some great signs of improvement in my grief, stress, and anxiety. I'm glad to have a non-pharmacological treatment option. Everything he explains to me makes perfect sense. I'm looking forward to continuing and finishing up my treatments. I highly recommend Jim to anyone considering holistic treatment options for any of a wide range of ailments that Jim can help with, as seen on his detailed website.

I have been under medical treatment for a head injury I received in April of 2013. The original concussion I had evolved into what's known as Post-Concussive Syndrome (PCS). For anyone unfamiliar with PCS, it is very much as though the concussive symptoms continue for months, and sometimes years. Symptoms vary a bit between patients but generally include: migraines, balance issues, motion sickness, dizziness, sensitivity to light and sound, trouble processing information and memory loss.
The symptoms I had that brought me to the Acupuncture Pain and Stress Center were continued balance problems

I had 6 treatments from Jim for panic attacks and anxiety. I had never experienced acupuncture before, but I knew that I did not want to take medication for the anxiety unless I absolutely had to. After the first couple of treatments, I could feel myself becoming more relaxed. It did not cure me, but have not had nearly the issues that I was having before (anxiety issues usually require you to make changes to your daily life). Jim as a person is a great guy and someone that is truly looking to help. I would recommend him to anyone and would definitely be my first option for any future issues.

I've been to many acupuncturists in the US and Southeast Asia. Usually, I get moderate results but never really follow through with the recommended treatments so results fade. I do believe in acupuncture, though, and this guy is really good. Actually, he's the best acupuncturist I've seen. Usually, I explain my issues and they just start with the needles. I have to ask lots of questions and generally get short answers. Not at Acupuncture Pain and Stress Center, though. He was extremely informative and explained the connection between diet, lifestyle, health, and the meridians. He

Bye, Bye Motion Sickness!

Visits: 6 treatments during May and June 2011
I have been suffering from motion sickness for over 20 years. Motion sickness is different than vertigo in that motion sickness occurs during some type of movement (air, car, sea, even watching certain videos especially 3D). This condition occurs when there is a 'disagreement' between visually perceived movement and the body's sense of movement resulting in dizziness and nausea (which for me leads to vomiting-yuck!). This condition affects many aspects of my life and over the years it has progressively worsened
